But, Eli, it is THEIR ASS on this--- As you say, if they cannot field a competitive team, it WILL be remembered as the first strike in what was thought to be an exciting season.<br /><br />Frank White can be the better man and attend all festivities, celebrate the fan's love of him, and assist the franchise (which still adores him, regardless of corporate bigwigs)with the 2012 All Star Celebration, the 2012 campaign.<br /><br />Business is business, and we may not be completely in-the-know as to how White was conducting his affairs. This may well be egg-on-face that the Royals are allowing to occur so long as it ultimately blows past, so long as the team makes fans forget the hurt of losing one of our own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
